Symbol question.svg What makes www.walkerswest.com a reliable source?

  • It is a site run by a professional breeding farm; as a TWHBEA member, they have access to old publications, show programs and records that are just not online or are behind paywall for non-members. I've cross-checked their info against newspapers and books multiple times and have found them to be accurate in every case but one (when they had a date wrong). They appear to be very conscientious about posting accurate information. Actually, they are far more accurate than most of the Tennessee guidebooks/history books, which often make errors when referring to horses (via wrong terminology).

    • Comment: Having been a WP:EQUINE member for quite some time, and also having reviewed or helped with several of Template:U's articles on Tennessee Walking Horse trainers and horses, I have to concur with her; this particular site is one of the better online sources, particularly in situations where neither the registry nor related sites have much info. Hardcopy on these mid-20th century individuals is often hard to come by unless you have hoarded back issues of assorted horse magazines, many of which are now defunct and will probably never be digitized. Basically, as long as the citation is to a specific subpage of the site, I'm OK with it. Montanabw(talk) 04:52, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
